With Respect in Creation - United Church of Canada



376428018288000With Respect in CreationThe climate is changing, youth are striking, and all creation calls to us to take action. This five-session series invites children to learn more about what is happening to God’s creation and how to take action as people of faith.This faith formation series is designed for children ages 5?11. It provides a variety of activities for each session so you can choose what you think will be best for your particular group of children. Ralph Milton’s Family Story Bible and Lectionary Story Bible, Year B, are mentioned several times and are available from the United Church Bookstore (UCRD).Focus Texts: Job 12:7?10 and Genesis 1:26?28Using the framework of the Job text, each session concentrates on one aspect of creation that has something to teach us: animals, birds, plants, fish, and humans. A New Creed and A Song of Faith provide a theological grounding for the series.Job 12:7?10“But ask the animals, and they will teach you; the birds of the air, and they will tell you; ask the plants of the earth, and they will teach you; and the fish of the sea will declare to you. Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In [God’s] hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of every human being.”—New Revised Standard Version Bible, copyright ? 1989 National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America. Used by permission. All rights reserved.Genesis 1:26?28God spoke: “Let us make human beings in our image, make themreflecting our natureSo they can be responsible for the fish in the sea,the birds in the air, the cattle,And, yes, Earth itself,and every animal that moves on the face of Earth.”God created human beings;he created them godlike,Reflecting God’s nature.He created them male and female.God blessed them:Prosper! Reproduce! Fill Earth! Take charge!Be responsible for fish in the sea and birds in the air,for every living thing that moves on the face of Earth.’”—Taken from THE MESSAGE, copyright ? 1993, 2002, 2018 by Eugene H.
